I didn't realize how bad news today was until i upgraded my iphone and opened the "news" app and added a ton of random, general news feeds (cnn, msnbc, fox, bloomberg, Time etc etc etc etc)..... This was at the early part of the Presidential campaigns where they were campaigning for nominations. Quite literally, every single news feed, trending story etc was "trump bad" - like 90% of them were. All this while Hillary was evading the DOJ, destroying evidence under subpoena, lying continually about emails, destroying emails, destroying devices and so on... but it was still like 9 "trump is bad" headlines to 1 "hillary isn't so bad" headlines.
I never truly realized how fucked up the media is here. Media is biased everywhere of course and thats true across the globe. However, reporters used to serve the truth and used to be about presenting the facts. More than anything else, they ALL (except FoxNews) continually pushed a fake narrative that Hillary was winning,... everywhere, in everything. I mean this woman's trust ratings were lower than Jeffrey Dahmers on an Asian gay porn set in a 3rd world country and each news outlet kept saying "she's got this - no question about it"
News used to be news. It used to be reporting the facts. Facts today are no longer relevant if they can't be tied into a click bait headline. Reporters used to be more detective than writer. NOW, they are all a bunch of second rate jackoffs writing click bait titles and trying to fabricate and cobble a story together (true or not) to match the catchy headline.
The truly sad thing is that one of the most important facets of a free democracy is open reporting.... but now, we are regressing into something worse than Russia where media is about political agendas and the first casualty of pushing that agenda is always the truth.
